"The best advice I have for members is just to begin, don't put it off, start with something as simple as a conversation with a professional that can help you begin the estate planning journey. Most people don't enjoy discussing estate matters, nor are they completely sure of what needs to be done, so it's easy to put off. Even taking just one step is a step in the right direction. That one step will start you on the right path to ensure what you have worked for your entire life is protected and your wishes are carried out. For most members, that first step is developing a current and valid will. In taking that step, most people realize that Estate Planning isn't particularly difficult or uncomfortable, but gives them the peace of mind that their family and estate will be looked after. If you are not sure of where to start or how to approach Estate Planning, come on in, let's have a conversation; it's that simple. " Susan Lawrence
